SW Motech engine guard saved the day

[17-CB-002]

Glad to hear that you are ok Alain. And yes, definitely karma, rlet up asap!

I’ll try to install the RLET sometime this weekend to avoid karma again

While riding alone in the countryside last Friday afternoon, I dropped the bike while entering into a side road. Did not even realised it until the bike was sliding on the loose gravel with me trapped from under.
Not too much damaged on the bike except for a bent front brake lever, broken right turn signal light and scratched exhaust and the tach chrome housing.
I must say that the SW Motech engine guard saved the bike from excessive damage.

I personally did not suffer any bruise or cuts, however, strained my muscles lifting the bike - trust me that 500 lbs chunk of metal is heavy to lift from the ground, only my pride was hurt.
Note: I tried to lift the bike using the back* technique, but, there were too much loose grave and my booths had no traction.

Today after receiving the brake lever, I installed it and took the opportunity to perform a full inspection on the bike.
Most important observation, the right side bent brake lever did not have the rubber thingie to protect it from damages - Since I lost it during the WV meet last year and I did not had the chance to replace it.(Karma?)
Damaged viewed from top.
Next task will be the engine guard paint job.

Hope you are okay. I too have the crash bars on both CB's! I noticed those cool red reservoir covers!

Mtneer has similar cover (blue) on his lovely bike and guided me on AliExpress
